EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'War Savings Committee,' was captured by renowned American photography studio Harris & Ewing between 1910 and 1920. The image depicts a group of men and women gathered in front of the neoclassical facade of the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. The group, dressed in fashionable clothing of the era, are shown in a serious and determined pose, with some holding war savings stamps and others displaying hats adorned with the Save-a-Life logo. The War Savings Committee was an initiative launched during World War I to encourage Americans to save and invest in war bonds to support the military effort. The campaign was a massive success, with millions of citizens across the country participating. This photograph captures the spirit of patriotism and unity that defined the era. The neoclassical architecture of the Capitol Building provides an impressive backdrop to the scene, with its grand columns and intricate details reflecting the classical Greek and Roman architectural styles that were popular during the early 20th century. The photograph is a valuable historical record of a significant moment in American history, showcasing both the fashion of the time and the collective effort to support the war effort. This image is part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection held at the Library of Congress, which includes over 100,000 glass negatives and 30,000 prints documenting life in America during the early 20th century. The collection is a rich source of visual history, providing insights into the social, political, and cultural developments of the time.
